Yes, there is yet another way to define Canadian mults.
In CQP, we kind of like having 58 mults for the CA guys 'n gals which
magically matches our 58 counties. To make this work we have been defining
the mults to be:
"California stations count U.S. states (50) and ARRL Canadian sections
(VO/VE1-7 and VY1/VE8) for a possible total of 58."
Since its unlikely we will get any new counties this year (the proposed new
Milpitas county has not been well received in Sacramento :), I guess we can
no longer use this terminology and get away with it.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Monochrome monitors now will work
Message-ID: <020601be8550$f8373c80$af2804d1@default>
For those of you with monochrome monitors who were wondering which counties
would be active in the Florida QSO Party...
Those counties were changing from Green to Orange as operator commitments
were made, well, now you need not ponder any longer monochrome hams...
ALL 67 of Florida's counties have commitments from either fixed or mobile
teams to ensure their activation.
The map at the Florida QSO Party web site (see URL below) has been slowly
changing from Green to Orange over the past few weeks as the contest
approached.
Now...make sure your antenna work is done by the end of this weekend,
because the following weekend is time for you to work Florida, and for
Floridians to work the world...
CQ FQP!
Florida QSO Party 1999 is April 24 & 25...don't miss it!
